The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2776  Abby's Situation

Meanwhile, in another area of Hell.

Abby had been sucked down into a wormhole after finishing defeating the enemy souls she had killed once during her cultivation journey. She was then faced with a vast environment, without any living beings or indications of paths for her to follow.

The Hell seemed endless and very similar, whichever way you looked at it. Even the spiritual energy and laws of this dimension seemed constant, wherever you were in Hell.

For a while, she observed the surroundings from where she stood still, wondering if Minos and the others would come to this place with her.

Having killed the fewest living beings in her group, she had been the first to leave that mirrored space earlier.

But after some time in this place, she spotted one of the Reincarnation Wheels and realized that she really was in Hell. However, she didn't look at it for more than a second, having sensed something wrong in the mere fact of looking in that direction.

After that, she realized that waiting wouldn't help her.

Since she didn't have something like the Nautilus' Compass and even if she did, it wouldn't work, she turned her attention to something simpler.

She couldn't use her necromantic abilities there. After all, her divine ability wasn't an innate skill, but something developed with one's spiritual growth. Limited to her innate ability and her level 116 cultivation, she used her neurological control ability, forcing her own senses to become stronger.

Even though neurological control was a skill aimed at physical bodies, it also worked with the spiritual nerves of the soul. This helped her rely on something in this strange place, allowing her to better sense her surroundings.

'There are many corpses buried in this place.' She looked at the black ground and sensed something different from what Minos and the others would notice. 'In fact, it seems that the whole ground of Hell is made up of corpses.'

As she placed her hands on the ground and closed her eyes, she felt as if she were standing on a pile of extremely compacted corpses.

But these were not cups like the ones one would see in their universe. These were bodies that seemed to be made of black rock.

'That's... Interesting.' Abby looked into the distance, sensing underground rivers of black liquid.

'The Drops of Hell are the result of the concentration of these bodies... If I'm not mistaken, it's the result of the existence of countless dead creatures. It is an essence charged with power, laws, but also chaos.

She felt the signs of underground rivers in her vicinity leading to a common point, apparently connected to the wheels of reincarnation.

'If I had to guess, this black liquid is actually the force behind reincarnation... I see.'

She became more serious, realizing why it would be a problem to use such a thing for purposes other than the driving force of the wheel of reincarnation.

Walking towards one of the largest streams of black liquid in the area where she was standing, Abby continued her analysis of Hell.

'Where does this liquid escape? That shouldn't happen. If the liquid from Hell leaks out, what's stopping the souls of these strange wheels from escaping, too?'

At that moment, she concluded that there were definitely dead people who escaped and would escape from Hell before completing their due passage through the area.

She just did not know what exactly this meant for those in her world and in this dimension.

'Is what necromancers do similar to what this rift that lets leaks happen from Hell into our reality is the same? Or are they different things?' A critical doubt appeared in his mind. 'I have to be careful. Even if I can use the dead with my present knowledge, I'd better avoid it. I have the strong impression that the natives of this place are high-level necromancers and will see me as an enemy if I show myself as one.'

As she walked, she didn't know how much time had passed. All she knew was that the scenery around her didn't seem to have changed at all and her thoughts went even further away than her feet had taken her.

But eventually she stopped at the peak of a hill, where she felt her call from earlier come back to dominate her attention. There, she found an area obviously built by unnatural forces, in the shape of a circular platform, where some pillars of different geometric shapes pointed towards the center of the platform.

In this place, a small hole, filled with black liquid, seemed to ripple as if attracted by something.

In addition, underground mechanisms were moving, causing the strange pillars to change shape and a supernatural force to gradually become stronger from the point under Abby's observation.

Abby sensed danger, but also an opportunity. She could sense that she wouldn't be able to use her divine ability related to necromancy in this place, but any benefit related to necromancy would generate positive results for her when she left this place. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'This is important.' She clenched her fists and stepped forward, willing to take the risk. 'Even if I can't use my powers straight away, I don't think I'll be here for long. My journey will still be long and dangerous in Uzira. And even if I can't access these possibilities until I leave Hell, I'll be able to improve my cultivation here.'

When she was on the verge that she could go and decide to give up, she hesitated for a second and then took the last step, entering what looked like an evil ritual platform.

As soon as she entered that place, the pillars shifted and rocky black bodies emerged from the ground, raising bodily appendages as darkness began to cover that platform.

Abby felt as if death was there in person to watch her, as the space around her changed, with her consciousness once again entering a test in an alternative place, as it had been with the mirror dimension earlier.

Now her opponents were not the people she had stolen the lives of, but those dead people she had awakened and consumed their souls, thus preventing them from having the chance to reincarnate.

One way or another, she had stolen these souls from Hell and now she had to face them and conquer them if she wanted to live!

Abby felt how difficult this challenge was, coming up against Supremes even stronger than her in this unfavorable place.

'Shit!'
